OTB Football · THE LOI POD: Ireland turn to the LOI for the next-gen | Playing standards 'going up levels' | Do Pats have the stomach for the title fight? · 20 May 2026 podcast

But is, we, we are, um,

And it's why so many of our really good players, I won't mention names in case it's disrespectful, come back out of the UK or go to the UK and fail, even at Championship League 1, League 2 level, because they're not using the intensity that football is played at.

So there's levels to football.

And in Ireland, we have a different type of level.

So it's a whole mixture of all those things, Ben, where Pep changed the game

changed how it was played maybe Keith Andrews and his crew were changing it back the other way a little bit but the game is a little bit more slower possession based it's a little bit more so we could if I was a Dundalk player my statistics from Friday night my show I misplaced four or five passes right

certain other teams wouldn't have that.

Managers may or may not look at that.

I'd much rather Ervin trying to pull Owen Kenny away and then being a misplaced pass than going sideways or backwards and it's about what you want and we have a lot of coaches who are possession based and like possession football and then we've others who want it different ways and we've just a lot of people

There's a certain amount of over-coaching going on in the league.

Can't get away from that.

Inverting full-backs, inverting wingers, not letting people play in the flow.

But there's also a good range of managers now who have analysts, who have assistant coaches, who have everything.

I mean, I looked at Dundalk bench and there was

Keith Ward is on it, Ronan Coughlin is on it, two hugely experienced footballers, then even a system manager, as well as a strength and conditioning coach, as well as a goalkeeping coach, Peter Terry, more experienced, knows the game.

So there's a lot going on in the manager's head, and also a lot of them are copying the way a lot of teams have, the way world football has moved into a little bit slower, and maybe not as exciting.

It's a bit like, Ben, you go to the premiership.

I went to a Brighton game a couple of months ago.

I nearly fell asleep at Bourne.

Some people like it.
